Ghanaian entrepreneur and journalist, Afua Asantewaa, has surpassed the halfway mark of her attempt to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest singing marathon by an individual.
Asantewaa entered into the third day of singing on Tuesday and has so far done over 55 hours of singing, which is half short of Sunil Waghmar’s 105-hour record.
Ghanaians have thronged to the Akwaaba Village in Accra to show their massive support for Afua Asantewaa’s bid to break and set a new singathon
record.
On Monday, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia stormed the Akwaaba Village to offer words of encouragement to Afua Asantewaa, urging her to make history for Ghana.
